SERVINGS:

300grams white flour

200grams whole wheat flour

1tablespoon salt

1/2tablespoon baking powder

1/2cup vegetable oil

1cup water

Directions

Mix the white flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.

Heat the vegetable oil and water until they are warm, using separate containers for each one.

Add the vegetable oil to the flour and knead.

Slowly add the water to the flour and keep kneading until the dough has a smooth texture.

Make 20 dough balls with your hands, and then flatten each ball as much as you can using a rolling pin.

Heat a frying pan/griddle on medium-high flame, and grill the tortillas until they toast on each side.

Let them cool off for 10 minutes and serve. You can also store them in any sealed container or ziplock bag for up to 1 month in the freezer.

Reviews(1)

These tortillas are much healthier than the white flour version, and they taste even better. Make sure you divide the dough into little two inch balls, then let the dough balls rest for a few minutes before you roll them out. It helps the dough to be a little more elastic. When you roll them out, use flour sparingly on the pastry board and rolling pin. If the dough gets too dry the tortillas don't taste as soft. Also, adding in a tablespoon of sour cream to the dough when you are mixing it helps the tortillas stay soft and pliable.
